A Second Chance At Forever novel (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 142

Chapter 142 

She turned her head to look at the man who was tightly hugging her. 

His face was cold and serious, with thin lips tightly pressed together. 

The rage on his face showed that he had heard their conversation. 

He probably misunderstood that she was going to leave with Jason, so he came out to stop them. 

Now that he had already done such an outrageous thing in front of Jason, why wouldn’t he let her go? 

Eleanor lowered her eyes, hiding her complex emotions under her long eyelashes. 

Seeing that she wasn’t resisting, Bernard’s expression softened a bit, but his eyes were still locked on Jason. 

“Mr. Clowers is planning to take away someone I’ve grown tired of playing with. How touching…” 

Such insulting words infuriated Jason. 

He clenched his fists and charged up to punch Bernard. 

But having suffered a severe head injury and being soaked in the rain, Jason was no match for Bernard. 

His punch didn’t even touch Bernard’s clothes before being kicked to the ground. 

“You’re in over your head!” 

Bernard flicked his sleeve contemptuously, mocking Jason lying on the ground. 

His indifference towards Jason’s well–being made Eleanor more and more disappointed in him… 

She coldly pushed Bernard away, rushed to Jason, and squatted down to help him up. 

“Garett, are you okay? Are you hurt?” 

Seeing her worried and anxious for another man, the anger in Bernard’s eyes intensified. 

It was like something important had been taken away, making him uncontrollably want to take it back. 

“Come here…” 

His self–restraint and rationality kept him in check. 

He just stood there, looking down at the two on the ground. 

His expression was filled with orders, warnings, and impending punishment if she disobeyed. 

Facing his gaze, Eleanor felt exhausted and didn’t want to go over at all… 

But she knew his character. If she didn’t do as he wanted, he would never let her and Jason leave safely. 

Eleanor sighed, helped Jason up, placed him on the couch, and softly said, “Garett, wait here for a little while. I’ll talk to him and then I’ll leave with you, okay?” 

Jason did not want her to return to Bernard, but hearing that she would leave with him, he could not help but feel relieved. 

“Alright.”
